Video of the Day: Clip from the 1991 movie “Thelma & Louise”
Bible Verse of the Day:
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen[c] away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace, Hebrews 6:4-6.
Biblical Connection:
Thelma Dickinson and Louise Sawyer seek an escape from their normal lives. Subsequently, one morning Thelma and Louise jump into a Ford Thunderbird convertible to take a break from their unhappiness. Unfortunately, when a romantic fling turns violent, self-defense results in murder. Instead of waiting for the cops to arrive, Thelma and Louise reach a point of no return.
The author of Hebrews speaks to Christians who reach a spiritual point of no return. False teaching at the end of the first century led some in the church to begin sinning as much as possible so that God’s grace could be poured out upon them daily. This deranged thinking led these sinners into addiction and spiritual bondage to sin. Until young Christians move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ, followers of Jesus will continue to lose internal battles with sin daily.
Closing Song:
Today’s song reminds me of the old fire safety tip: “stop, drop and roll.” Yet, the lyrics speak to individuals being consumed about what other people say and think. Instead of pleasing others, Christians need to focus on pleasing the Lord, Galatians 1:10. As you do, the Holy Spirit will unveil areas of your life that need healing. Don’t ignore this any longer. Rather, turn to God for help.
